This article analyzes the curricula of undergraduate Psychology programs at three Federal Universities in Southern Brazil (UFPR, UFSC, and UFPEL), examining which disciplines related to Human Rights are present and how they can contribute to humanization processes against contemporary hate culture. The qualitative research used bibliographic and documentary surveys, analyzing syllabi and references of selected disciplines. Results show that all three programs include Human Rights-related disciplines, mainly electives, but none has a specific course on Human Rights Education. The analysis reveals varying percentages: UFSC (34%), UFPEL (27%), and UFPR (10%). Considering the growth of authoritarian discourses and intolerance practices, it is concluded that strengthening Human Rights Education in Psychology curricula is necessary as a humanizing educational strategy, aiming to train professionals committed to social transformation and confronting hate culture through promoting love, solidarity, and respect for differences.
